- Begin the exercise with the arms outstretched at shoulder level and out to the sides with elbows extended. Flex the arms slightly as you bring them together toward the midline with hands in line with the lower pectorals.
- The hands cross each other past the midline of the body for a full pectoral contraction. Exhale while bringing the arms together and inhale while drawing the arms apart.
